During his time with the Pistons, then-GM Troy Weaver committed fully to the rebuild process by acquiring young talent and allowing the roster to tank for better draft position. His draft picks are now leading the Pistons to the East's top seed, but they were never able to have similar success with Weaver at the helm because he struggled to put competent pieces around them. His struggles with building a winning team have now transferred to his new team, the Pelicans.
Pistons fans aren't surprised by Weaver's disastrous decisions
Weaver definitely has his strengths when it comes to identifying potential and young talent.
